BARS = SHARE OF RECIPE CALORIES · RINGS = FDA DV
Super tender Italian meatballs loaded with Parmesan, parsley, and garlic, simmered low and slow in tomato sauce until they melt in your mouth. The long cooking time makes them incredibly tender despite using both beef and pork. Serve over pasta, in a sub, or alone with sauce.
